Character Virtues in Design Technology
Aston Fields Middle School has always strived to achieve high standards of personal development in all aspects of school life. The character virtues we have adopted are a means of enabling pupils to have optimal success in life. Through the attainment of these virtues, they will achieve higher standards of academic attainment, witness positive cognitive development, make a positive contribution to society and have a clear sense of right and wrong.
Within DT we are able to offer pupils opportunities to develop their character virtues.
These virtues are expressed throughout the DT curriculum in the following ways:
-
Not giving up on their chosen product despite challenges the pupils might face.
-
Working with their peers and staff to produce quality products.
-
Exploring existing products and designers.
-
Working outside their comfort zone.
-
Believing in their ability and the potential success of their ideas.
-
Thinking about the environment and the end user of the products.
-
Ensuring projects are completed and products are made to a high standard.
